Did you know?

Do you know what is the smallest rhino species in the world? Hah...Gotcha!

It's the Sumatran rhinoceros. One of the rarest mammals left in the world. It is listed as critically endangered with only about 300 of them left in the world. Thanks to poaching and deforestation.

No wait, you didn't go into the wrong blog. It's still Cherrie's blog. Only this time, I've decided to write about something more serious. I have a soft spot for animals, so this kind of things affect me a lot. (All together now, awwwwww~)

Back to the rhinos. So, some of you might wonder, why rhino? Why not other cuter looking animals? After all, rhino is not exactly cute and cuddly is it? I'm writing this to support the 'Rhino Rescue Project' initiated by Honda. Yes, the same Honda that brought you those gorgeous sedans. This project is the one and only corporate sponsorship dedicated to saving the Sumatran rhinos. Honda actually pledged a total of RM5 MILLION to WWF Malaysia as part of the project. Like OMGWTFBBQ?! RM5 MILLION?! That can buy me loads and loads of clothes, shoes, heck, even a house omg! *fantasizes about new Ferrari*

But I digress, the reason we should do our bit to save the rhino is because it is the ONLY rhino species found in Malaysia. You wouldn't want your children or grandchildren to see the rhino only in their textbook right? To think that rhinos might be to them what Dodo is to us...that is awfully saddening. And it is already happening if we don't do our tiny lil part in saving those poor rhinos.

What can I do to help you ask? Well, if you have a blog or a website, paste the Save our Sumatran Rhino into your site and help spread the word. =) Lets save the rhinos shall we?
